Call 0414 444 474 for urgent adviceIf you are searching for a criminal lawyer Bondi residents can rely on, our team can help. We are an experienced NSW criminal defence firm that assists people across Bondi and the wider Eastern Suburbs who are facing criminal or traffic charges, and we are available 24/7 for urgent advice. This page explains which court is likely to hear your matter, how we assist local clients, and the charges we regularly defend.
Criminal and traffic matters arising in Bondi are generally heard at Waverley Local Court. This is not guaranteed for every matter, so you should always confirm the correct venue on your court attendance notice or via the NSW Online Registry before your court date.
Important: Temporary venue change
Waverley Local Court is currently sitting temporarily at John Maddison Tower in the Sydney CBD, while its Bronte Road building undergoes renovations, with a return expected in late 2026. This means a Bondi resident with a current matter will likely need to attend the CBD rather than Bronte Road. Always confirm the venue on your court notice before you travel. See our Waverley Local Court page for full details.
We support clients in Bondi from the earliest stage of a criminal or traffic matter through to its resolution. This typically involves providing early advice on the charge and your options, negotiating with police prosecutors where appropriate, carefully preparing your matter and supporting evidence, and representing you in court. Our focus throughout is on protecting your interests and, where the circumstances allow, working towards a non-conviction outcome.
